Ingredients

1/2 Quick puff pastry*
10 tart apples
1/2 cup Vermont maple sugar or brown sugar
4 tbs all purpose flour
1/2 teas salt
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg beaten with 2 tbs water for eggwash

Instructions

Cut the dough in half, one slightly larger than the other.
Wrap the smaller section in plastic wrap and return to fridge.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to an 11″ round.
Carefully transfer to a 9″ pie plate and press into the plate. Don’t trim the over hang.
Refrigerate 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the maple sugar, flour, and salt.
Meanwhile, core the apples and dice them into 1/2″ cubes.
Toss in the bowl with the sugar mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or your hands to coat.
Pour the apples into the prepared pie shell.
Pile the extras in the center.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll the second piece of dough into a 10 or 11″ round. Remember, you have to cover the top with the pile of apples and pinch, so make sure it's large enough.
Cover the top of the pie and crimp as desired. Slice a hole to vent in the center.
Brush the dough with the eggwash and place pie on a baking sheet.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
